The method of carrying out the invention

The following detailed description is provided in order to help the reader fully understand the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein. In this regard, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, devices, and / or systems described herein may be proposed to those skilled in the art. In addition, a description of well-known functions and constructions may be omitted to increase clarity and conciseness.

In the following, some examples are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a multi-user MIMO communication system.

In accordance with FIG. 1, a MIMO communication system may comprise a base station 110 and a plurality of terminal devices 120, 130, and 140. For downlink communications, the base station can act as a transmitter, and each of the terminal devices 120, 130, and 140 can act as a receiver. In uplink communication, the base station 110 may act as a receiver, and each of the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140 may act as a transmitter.

Hereinafter, examples are described with reference to a base station 110 and a plurality of terminal devices 120, 130, and 140 operating in downlink communication. These examples may also be applicable to uplink communications.

Base station 110 may have multiple antennas, for example, two antennas, four antennas, eight antennas, etc., may pre-encode data streams for downlink data transmission. Base station 110 may check information associated with channels formed between antennas of base station 110 and antennas of each of terminal devices 120, 130 and 140. For example, since base station 110 and terminal devices 120, 130 and 140 can exchange channel related information terminal devices 120, 130, and 140 may transmit channel related information to the base station 110 over the feedback channel.

The channel related information may include a precoding matrix indicator, channel quality information, etc. The same codebook containing a predetermined number of matrices and vectors can be stored in the base station 110 and each of the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140. Each of the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140 can select one matrix or vector from the codebook and appropriately generate a precoding matrix indicator. For example, the index of a selected single matrix or vector may be a precoding matrix indicator. The channel quality indicator may include information related to channel power, information related to interference or noise affecting the channels, etc.

The codebook may also have different sizes, for example, two bits, three bits, four bits, five bits, six bits, etc. For example, a four-bit codebook may contain 2 ⁴ = 16 vectors or matrices. Since a vector is a matrix having only one column, the term “matrix” should be considered to include the concept of “vector”.

Hereinafter, with reference to various examples, a method for exchanging a precoding matrix indicator, channel quality information, a rank indicator, etc. is described. between the base station 110 and the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140.

According to various examples, two different codebooks C ₁ and C ₂ can be used. For example, the two indicated codebooks C ₁ and C ₂ can be stored in each of the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140. In this example, each of the terminal devices 120, 130 and 140 can select a preferred precoding matrix W ₁ from the code book C ₁ and may select a preferred precoding matrix W ₂ from another C ₂ codebook. Both index W ₁ and index W ₂ may correspond to indicators of a precoding matrix. Moreover, W ₁ corresponds to element C ₁ , and W ₂ corresponds to element C ₂ .

If there are multiple subbands in the frequency domain, the precoding matrix W with respect to one subband substantially used by base station 110 may correspond to functions W ₁ and W ₂ . For example, W ₁ may be associated with a broadband channel characteristic or with a long-term channel characteristic, and W ₂ may be associated with a frequency-selective channel characteristic or with a short-term channel characteristic.

Channel Quality Information (CQI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), etc. can be transmitted and received on one of a common uplink physical channel (PUSCH) and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

Aperiodic CQI / PMI / RI Reporting Using PUSCH

The terminal device can transmit channel quality information, a precoding matrix indicator, and a PUSCH rank indicator on the feedback channel. The terminal device may use various reporting modes, such as in the examples shown in Table 1.

[Table 1] Feedback Type PMI PMI Number One PMI Plenty of PMI Feedback Type PUSCH CQI Broadband
(broadband CQI) 1-2 mode
1-2.1 mode Selectable by Subscriber Station
(subband CQI) 2-0 mode 2-2 mode
2-2.1 mode Configurable at a higher level
(subband CQI) 3-0 mode 3-1 mode

The reporting modes used may vary depending on the transmission modes. For example, if there are seven transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the reporting modes applied to each of the transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 can be expressed as follows.

Transmission mode 1: Report transmission modes 2-0, 3-0

Transfer Mode 2: Report Transfer Modes 2-0, 3-0

Transfer Mode 3: Report Transfer Modes 2-0, 3-0

Transmission Mode 4: Report Transmission Modes 1-2, 2-2, 3-1

Transfer Mode 5: Report Transfer Mode 3-1

Transmission Mode 6: Report Transmission Modes 1-2, 2-2, 3-1

Transmission mode 7: Report transmission modes 2-0, 3-0

In addition to the above transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, transmission mode 8 can be enabled to support reporting modes 1-2, 2-2, and 3-1 when the terminal device accompanies the transmission of PMI and RI reports , and to support 2-0 and 3-0 reporting modes when the terminal device does not accompany the transmission of PMI and RI reports.

In addition, transmission mode 9 can be enabled. Transmission mode 9 can support at least one of the report transmission modes shown in Table 1. In transmission mode 9, the report transmission modes shown in Table 1 can be used even if the number of transmitting antennas has a predetermined value, for example, 2, 4, 8, etc.

In transmission mode 8 and transmission mode 9, when the terminal device accompanies the transmission of PMI and RI reports, reporting modes 1-2, 2-2 and 3-1, 1-2.1 and 2-2.1 can be used. The modes may correspond to updated versions of the reporting modes 1-2, 2-2, and 3-1 and may be applicable, for example, in which there are four transmitting antennas, and for example, in which there are eight transmitting antennas. If the terminal device does not accompany the PMI and RI reporting, the 2-0 and 3-0 reporting modes can be used.

Reporting modes, for example, reporting modes 1-2.1, 2-2.1 and 3-1.1, can have the following implementation:

Whenever a broadband matrix indicator is used to shorten a feedback header or report on a corresponding precoding matrix with respect to allocating a large resource block, a precoding matrix indicator W ₁ may be generated. Whenever a broadband matrix indicator having relatively high accuracy is used, an additional broadband matrix precoding matrix indicator W ₂ may be generated.

Whenever a subband matrix indicator is applied, an additional precoding matrix indicator W ₂ may be generated.

In accordance with the reporting modes, a single subband precoding matrix indicator may be defined in a set of multiple subbands or in a separate subband. CQI can be determined based on the recommended precoding matrix W. The recommended precoding matrix W may correspond to the functions W ₁ and W ₂ . If W ₂ is transmitted with respect to all subbands, or if W ₂ is transmitted with respect to a set of subbands, the wideband CQI can be determined based on W. Another example: the wideband CQI can be determined based on W, which is a function of W ₁ and W ₂ . a subband CQI may be defined in one subband, or may be defined in a subset of a set of multiple subbands. The subband CQI can be determined in subbands based on W, that is, functions W ₁ and W ₂ .

(3) The subband size can be determined in accordance with various methods that are known or specifically designed for the examples described herein.

3. Feedback in the subband selected by the subscriber station

The terminal may also transmit a first precoding matrix indicator of the selected one first precoding matrix with respect to the M selected subbands.

Periodic CQI / PMI / RI Reporting Using PUCCH

The terminal device may transmit difference information, such as difference CQI, precoding matrix indicator, and PUCCH rank indicator, through the feedback channel. The terminal device may use various reporting modes, such as in the examples shown in Table 2.

[Table 2] Feedback Type PMI PMI Number One PMI Plenty of PMI Feedback Type PUSCH CQI Broadband
(broadband CQI) 1-0 mode 1-1 mode No Selectable by Subscriber Station
(subband CQI) 2-0 mode 2-2.0 mode
2-2.1 mode

The reporting modes 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, and 2-1 shown in Table 2 are described in the “3 ^rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) Rel. 8 TS 36.213 ”. New reporting modes may be proposed, such as reporting modes 2-2.0 and 2-2.1, which are further described below.

The reporting modes used may vary depending on the transmission modes. For example, if there are seven transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the reporting modes applied to each of the transmission modes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 can be expressed as follows.

In addition, transmission mode 9 can be enabled. Transmission mode 9 can support at least one of the report transmission modes shown in Table 2. In transmission mode 9, the reporting modes shown in Table 2 can be used even if the number of transmitting antennas has a predetermined value, for example, 2, 4, 8, etc.

Report transmission modes can be classified based on criteria such as i) “off-subband reporting / sub-band reporting” and ii) “W ₁ and W ₂ are transmitted in different subframes / W ₁ and W ₂ are transmitted in one subframe”. An additional category can be created by using W ₂ as broadband information or subband information. If W _{2 is} used as broadband information, W ₂ can be expressed as W _{2_W} . If W _{2 is} used as subband information, W ₂ can be expressed as W _{2_S} . In addition, A || B means that information A and information B are transmitted in different subbands.

As indicated above, new reporting modes may be proposed, such as reporting modes 2-2.0 and 2-2.1

1) Reporting Mode RI, W ₁ | | W _{2_W} , CQI_w

The rank indicator and the precoding matrix indicator W ₁ may be transmitted in the same subframe. The rank indicator and the precoding matrix indicator W ₁ may be coded together or separately. W ₁ may be selected by the first codebook C ₁ or by a subset of the first codebook C ₁ .

If the subset regarding the second codebook contains only one element, a one-to-one correspondence can be established between W ₁ and W _{2_W} . In this regard, the precoding matrix indicator W _{2_W} may not be transmitted unambiguously.

Broadband CQI_w may be determined if the precoding matrix is a function of W ₁ and W _{2_W} . The precoding matrix indicator W _{2_W} and the wideband CQI_w may be jointly encoded and transmitted in the same subframe.

Since W _{2_W} is in the second codebook C ₂ or in a subset of the second codebook C ₂ , the accuracy of the feedback channel transmission may increase. In particular, if PUCCH power control is applied and if an energy limitation is applied, the error propagation can be reduced.

The indicator corresponding to the precoding matrix selected by the first codebook may be called the first indicator of the precoding matrix, and the indicator corresponding to the precoding matrix selected by the second codebook may be called the second indicator of the precoding matrix. The precoding matrix selected by the first codebook may be expressed as W ₁ , and the precoding matrix selected by the second codebook may be expressed as W ₂ .

2) RI Reporting Mode | | W ₁ | | W _{2_W} , CQI_w

The rank indicator and the precoding matrix indicator W ₁ may be transmitted in various subframes. W ₁ may be selected by the first codebook C ₁ or by a subset of the first codebook C ₁ .

W _{2_W} may correspond to W ₂ selected from the entire range, wherein W _{2_W} may be selected from a second codebook or a subset of a second codebook.

If the subset regarding the second codebook contains only one element, a one-to-one correspondence can be established between W ₁ and W _{2_W} . In this regard, the precoding matrix indicator W _{2_W} may not be transmitted unambiguously.

Reporting Types

For each PUCCH reporting mode, five types of CQI / PMI and RI report transmission can be supported with specific periods and offsets, as shown in Table 3.

A Type 1 report supports CQI feedback regarding subbands selected by the subscriber station.

A Type 2 report supports wideband CQI and PMI feedback.

A type 3 report supports RI feedback.

A Type 4 report supports CQI broadband feedback.

A Type 5 report supports Broadband CQI and PMI for subscriber-selectable subbands. In addition, Type 5 provides the transmission of subband or wideband differential MPI and subband CQI. Two options can be proposed in this example: Type 5.0, which includes Subband (differential) PMI and subband CQI, and Type 5.1, which includes Broadband (difference) PMI and subband CQI.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a communication method of a transmitter and a receiver in which the transmitter and the receiver share a rank indicator, a precoding matrix indicator, and channel quality information.

In accordance with FIG. 2, the receiver may correspond to a terminal device in downlink communication and, therefore, correspond to a base station in uplink communication. The transmitter may correspond to a base station in downlink communication and, therefore, correspond to a terminal device in uplink communication.

At 210, the receiver estimates the channel from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver can estimate the channel using a known signal transmitted from the transmitter. A transmitter may comprise a plurality of transmit antennas, for example, two transmit antennas, four transmit antennas, eight transmit antennas, sixteen transmit antennas, etc. The receiver comprises at least one receiving antenna.

At 220, the receiver generates a rank indicator (RI) indicative of the number of preferred levels, for example, ranks. At 230, the receiver generates a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) indicative of a preferred precoding matrix using a predefined codebook based on the rank indicator. In accordance with some examples, at least two precoding matrix indicators may be generated based on at least two predetermined codebooks. In this example, the final precoding matrix can be defined as the scalar product between at least two precoding matrices selected from each of the at least two codebooks.

At 240, the receiver generates CQI based on the rank indicator and the precoding matrix indicator.

At 250, the receiver transmits a rank indicator, precoding matrix indicator, and CQI via PUSCH or PUCCH over the feedback channel.

At 260, the transmitter generates a substantially optimal precoding matrix based on the feedback rank indicator, precoding matrix indicator, and CQI. At 270, the transmitter precodes the data streams. At 280, precoded data is transmitted to a receiver, for example, through multiple transmit antennas.

FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a transmitter and a receiver that share a first precoding matrix indicator, a second precoding matrix indicator, and channel quality information. With reference to FIG. 3 further describes a reporting mode 1-2.1 using PUSCH and two reporting modes using PUCCH.

With reference to FIG. 3, a communication method is described for a transmitter and a receiver operating in accordance with a reporting mode 1-2.1 using PUSCH.

1. Reporting mode 1-2.1 using PUSCH

At 310, the transmitter and receiver operate in accordance with a 1-2.1 reporting mode using PUSCH.

At 320, the receiver generates a first precoding matrix indicator by selecting a first precoding matrix W ₁ from the first codebook C ₁ . If there are multiple subbands, the receiver can generate a precoding matrix indicator with respect to the set of subbands from the first codebook C ₁ , if the transmitter is transmitting in the set of subbands.

The first codebook C ₁ may differ from the second codebook C ₂ , wherein the first codebook C ₁ and the second codebook C ₂ may be subsets of the same complete codebook.

At 330, the receiver generates a second precoding matrix indicator by selecting a second precoding matrix W ₂ from the second codebook C ₂ . In this example, if only a selected subband is transmitted with respect to each subband, the receiver may generate a second precoding matrix indicator of a second precoding matrix W ₂ from a second codebook C ₂ .

At 340, the receiver determines one wideband CQI per codeword when transmitted in a set of subbands, if a corresponding precoding matrix W is applied in each subband.

At 350, a receiver may transmit a first precoding matrix indicator, a second precoding matrix indicator, and wideband CQI via PUSCH over the feedback channel.

The precoding matrix indicator and CQI may be determined based on the transmitted rank indicator, and the subband size may be determined in accordance with various methods that are known or specifically designed for the examples described herein. The threshold indicator of rank RI _threshold can take various values, for example, 2.

In 360, in case the first precoding matrix indicator, the second precoding matrix indicator, and the wideband CQI are transmitted through the feedback channel to the transmitter, the transmitter generates a substantially optimal precoding matrix using the first codebook C ₁ and the second codebook C ₂ .

At 370, the transmitter precodes at least one data stream using the generated precoding matrix. At 380, the precoded at least one data stream may be transmitted through multiple transmit antennas.

2. Reporting Mode RI | | W ₁ | | W _{2_W} , CQI_w using PUCCH

At 310, a receiver and a transmitter identify a reporting mode for feedback information. With respect to the present example, it can be assumed that a rank indicator is generated indicating the preferred rank of the receiver.

At 320, a first codebook receiver C ₁ generates a first precoding matrix indicator with respect to a set of multiple subbands or a predetermined range from multiple subbands. The first precoding matrix corresponding to the first indicator of the precoding matrix may be referred to as W ₁ .

At 330, a second codebook receiver C ₂ generates a second precoding matrix indicator for a set of multiple subbands. The second precoding matrix corresponding to the second indicator of the precoding matrix may be referred to as W _{2_W} . W _{2_W} may correspond to W ₂ selected from the entire range, and selected by the second codebook or by a subset of the second codebook.

If the subset regarding the second codebook contains only one element, a one-to-one correspondence can be established between W ₁ and W _{2_W} . In this case, the indicator of the precoding matrix W _{2_W} may not be transmitted unambiguously.

The receiver 340 may determine broadband CQI_w, if the precoding matrix is a function of W ₁ and W _{2_W.} In this example, the receiver can determine CQI_w with respect to a set of multiple subbands using a first precoding matrix indicator and a second precoding matrix indicator.

The precoding matrix indicator W _{2_W} and CQI_w may be jointly encoded.

At 350, a receiver may transmit a rank indicator at the first reporting time and may transmit a first precoding matrix indicator at a second reporting time. The receiver may also transmit via feedback the second indicator of the precoding matrix for the set of multiple subbands and CQI_w for the set of multiple subbands at the third reporting time.

The first report transmission time, the second report transmission time, and the third report transmission time may correspond to different subframes.

In particular, a receiver may transmit a rank indicator based on a first reporting time and may transmit a first indicator of a precoding matrix based on a second reporting period. The receiver may also feed back a second precoding matrix indicator with respect to the set of multiple subbands and CQI with respect to the set of multiple subbands based on the third reporting period.

As described above with respect to the reporting mode 1-2.1 using PUSCH, operations 360 through 380 are performed by the transmitter.

3. Reporting Mode RI | | W ₁ | | W _{2_W} , CQI_w | | W _{2_S} , CQI_s using PUCCH

At 310, a receiver and a transmitter identify a reporting mode for feedback information.

At 320, a first codebook receiver C ₁ generates a first precoding matrix indicator with respect to a set of multiple subbands or a predetermined range from multiple subbands. The first precoding matrix corresponding to the first indicator of the precoding matrix may be referred to as W ₁ .

At 330, a second codebook receiver C ₂ generates a second precoding matrix indicator for a set of multiple subbands. The second precoding matrix corresponding to the second indicator of the precoding matrix may be referred to as W _{2_W} . W _{2_W} may correspond to W ₂ selected from the entire range, and selected by the second codebook or by a subset of the second codebook.

If the subset regarding the second codebook contains only one element, a one-to-one correspondence can be established between W ₁ and W _{2_W} . In this case, the indicator of the precoding matrix W _{2_W} may not be transmitted unambiguously.

At 330, the receiver generates a second precoding matrix indicator with respect to a set of multiple subbands and can also generate a second precoding matrix indicator W _{2_W} from each second predetermined subband from a second codebook C ₂ . For clarity, the second indicator of the precoding matrix W _{2_W} for each predefined subband is referred to in this example as the third indicator of the precoding matrix. In this regard, in 330, the receiver can generate W _{2_W} and W _{2_S} from the second codebook C ₂ .

At 340, the receiver generates wideband CQI_w and subband CQI_s.

In this example, the broadband CQI_w can be determined if the precoding matrix is a function of W ₁ and W _{2_W.} CQI_s may refer to a subband CQI and may be obtained on a single subband. For example, CQI_s may be selected over part of a range. CQI_s may be determined if the precoding matrix is a function of W ₁ and W _{2_W} in the subband.

At 350, the receiver transmits through the feedback channel in four different subframes “rank indicator”, “first indicator of precoding matrix W1”, “second indicator of precoding matrix W _{2_W} and CQI_w” and “third indicator of precoding matrix W _{2_S} and CQI_s”.

Four different subframes may correspond to the first four moments of reporting.

As described above with respect to the reporting mode 1-2.1 using PUSCH, operations 360 through 380 are performed by the transmitter.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a transmitter and a receiver that share a first precoding matrix indicator, a second precoding matrix indicator, channel quality information and difference information.

Below with reference to FIG. 4 describes the mode of reporting 3.1 using PUSCH.

At 410, a receiver and a transmitter identify a reporting mode for feedback information.

At 420, a first codebook receiver C ₁ generates a first precoding matrix indicator by selecting a first precoding matrix W ₁ . When transmitting in a set of subbands, the first indicator of the precoding matrix of one first precoding matrix W ₁ may be generated from the first codebook C ₁ .

At 430, the second codebook receiver C ₂ generates a second precoding matrix indicator by selecting a second precoding matrix W ₂ . When transmitting in the set of subbands, the first indicator of the precoding matrix of one second precoding matrix W ₂ can be generated by the second codebook C ₂ .

At 440, the receiver generates one subband CQI per codeword for each subband. In this example, the subband CQI can be determined by transmitting in the corresponding subband if W (that is, a function of W ₁ and W ₂ ) is applied in all subbands. Similarly, broadband CQI can be determined by transmitting in the corresponding subband if W (that is, a function of W ₁ and W ₂ ) is applied in all subbands.

At 450, the receiver generates differential information related to the difference between the CQI associated with the set of multiple subbands and the subband CQI associated with each codeword. Difference information can be encoded using one bit, two bits, three bits, etc.

At 460, the receiver transmits a first precoding matrix indicator, a second precoding matrix indicator, wideband CQI, and subband CQI through a feedback channel. At least one of the indicated - broadband CQI and subband CQI - can be replaced by difference information. All of the above - wideband CQI, subband CQI and differential information - can be transmitted through the feedback channel.

At 470, the transmitter generates a substantially optimal precoding matrix. At 480, the transmitter precodes at least one data stream using the generated precoding matrix. At 490, the precoded at least one data stream may be transmitted through multiple transmit antennas.

For example, if the communication device 500 is installed or implemented in the receiver, the processor 520 may generate a corresponding precoding matrix from both the first codebook and the second codebook. If the communication device 500 is installed or implemented in the transmitter, the processor 520 may retrieve the precoding matrix corresponding to the indicator of the precoding matrix generated by both the first codebook and the second codebook. The processor 520 may also generate the precoding matrix ultimately applied, or it may generate CQI. The above transmitter and receiver operations, as a rule, can be performed by the processor 520.
